Good piece, worth a read. Corp media is not reporting on this kind of thing.

"I Threw the Sandwich"
Okay, so I did it. In honor of Sandwich Guy, on what should be the last day of his trial, I figured out the chords. And so, with apologies to the late and great Bob Marley, I banged out this quick and (very) rough rendition of "I Threw the Sandwich." 🤣

So much for obeying a court order, even if begrudgingly and with manufactured delay.

Trump is no mastermind—but don’t doubt that he and his comms team plan some psyops, disinfo, and propaganda in advance. In his CBS interview, he kept using a canned line over and over: "Democrats have to open the country." See what he’s doing with that odd and inaccurate phrase? A pandemic callback.

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.
I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

Q: What did you mean when you said you're prepared to send 'more than the National Guard' into American cities?
TRUMP: if I want to enact a certain act, I'd be allowed to do whatever I want. The courts wouldn't get involved. Nobody would. I could send Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -anybody I want

Obvious to say this, but the actual function of the smear job isn't to make us ask about his aunt, it's to show us the words "hijab" and "9/11" in a headline with his photo.

"Mamdani's proposals, such as freezing the rent for some New York tenants, free buses and free child care, are not only feasible but also build off the foundations of previous New York City laws, political analysts told ABC News."
Zohran Mamdani's proposals for NYC build off city's progressive foundation: Experts
While some critics decry Zohran Mamdani's vision for New York City as far-fetched, experts noted that they build off progressive foundations laid by past policies.

Yes, Trump demolishing the East Wing could be in response to No kings Day. But it could also be because he's trying to grab the $120M overage in cost along with the $230M from DOJ before he gets kicked out.

Overstaying its welcome. Making New Yorkers’ days grimmer. Something we should relegate to the past.
No, we're not talking about Andrew Cuomo. We're talking about scaffolding.
Today we released our plan to take it down more quickly.

Even the police said it was more than 100K in New York. Had to be at least 250K. Probably more like 350K. Seattle had 100k. Philly 125K. Media continues to be complicit.
